Background
In an interview with LOS40, Javiera Mena explained the meaning behind the record.[1] She also described it as "an album that radiates tranquility and luminosity", and "that invites the listener to connect with my music and what I do, in a deeper way."[1]
“Inmersión evokes the idea of immersing ourselfs in a deep emotional state, going through pain and, at the same time, having the courage to emerge to see life with a new perspective."[8]

Reception
Inmersión was met with critical acclaim from music critics upon release.[19][20][21]
Marcelo Contreras of La Tercera, dubbed the record as "outstanding" and called it Mena's best body of work to date.[19] He stated that the record "follows the rules written since The Beatles, where every song contains a purpose."[19]
Daniela Aguayo from La Cuarta described Inmersión as Mena's most introspective album to date, praising the songstress for showing a more "sensitive and emotionally" side of her, while remaining "faithful to her poetic and creative identity".[20]
Writing for Jenesaispop, Sebas E. Alonso gave the album an 8.2 out of 10, saying that the album is the first in a long-time where the singer-songwriter sounds "concentrated on the record's composition" rather than "overwhelmed by delivering a new hit."[21] He went further praising Mena's production and the lyrical content.[21]
